Twenty-one, and single now
Knowing that she's gone leave
It's just a question when.
Broken lamps and turned up amps
Twenty-five, she's married now
Another year I limp on stage
Chicago the umpteenth time
Birthday cards that never come
And Christmas at a friends.
Broken lamps and turned up amps.
Forty-five, she's single now
The kids are on their own
I come in bloody from the road
The records sell no more.
Come to you with fret cut hands
That reach out for amends
Broken lamps and turned up amps
Broken lamps and turned up amps
Broken lamps and turned up amps
